Subject: [PATCH v2] PM: sleep: Add kerneldoc comments to some functions

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Add kerneldoc comments to pm_suspend_via_firmware(),
pm_resume_via_firmware() and pm_suspend_via_s2idle() to explain
what they do.

Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

-> v2:
  Put more information into the pm_suspend_via_firmware() kerneldoc comment.
